Oscar Forman announces NBL retirement

Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Oscar Forman has announced his NBL retirement, following a 17 year career in the league.

His career comes to an end after racking up more than 500 NBL games playing for the Hawks, New Zealand Breakers and his home town Adelaide 36ers.

Forman made this statement announcing he was calling time on his career:

As a young kid shooting hoops in my driveway at home, I never imagined it would lead to a 17 season professional career in the NBL. I played because it was fun and exciting, and that held true for my entire career.

The memories and friendships made along the way are what I am most thankful for; most importantly, my family who provided me with constant support, love and advice. Teammates, coaches, opponents, staff, owners, sponsors, fans and volunteers all helped shape my career during and long before I ever played in the NBL.

The NBL has given me such an enjoyable profession for so long. I'm impressed with its direction and excited to see the next generation of kids shooting on driveway hoops fulfil their dreams in a burgeoning league.

Thank you,

Oscar
